It’s not something we often talk about on weekdays, but everyone knows what’s going on and they just don’t want to provoke the Tian family.

　　”What’s the matter? Can you still expect Zhang Zhuzi to stand up in front of his wife? Just Tian’s shouting, Zhang Zhuzi and his father are like sparrows, not daring to fart.”

　　”Poor Daniu.”

　　No matter how pitiful he is, he is not their own child, so just talk about it. No one believed that Zhang Zhuzi could take away his wife’s job of managing the money.

　　Listening to the noise in Zhang’s house, people were chatting and talking. As the sun was about to set, everyone went back to their homes to cook. Soon, smoke rose from every household in the village. One family was making pancakes, another was cooking sweet potato porridge. Neighbors could smell it clearly.

　　Aunt Wang smelled a fragrance wafting from the Li family’s house, but it didn’t sound like meat, so she didn’t know what they eat.

　　The Li family drank bone and radish soup in the evening, accompanied by millet and multi-grain pancakes.

　　The bones I bought back didn’t have any meat on them. The stall owner had picked them clean, so they were cheap. One penny could buy two large pieces. After washing one piece with clean water, Li Zhouzhou used the back of a knife to cut it into pieces so that it would be easier to cook.

　　Stewing it is a waste of firewood, it tastes good without meat, and the stewed water is not enough to fill the stomach, so the villagers don’t like to boil bones. But my husband wants to drink it, saying that it is cheap and can supplement calcium, which can help grow the body——

　　Li Zhouzhou heard this and took it to heart. He just needed to run the firewood up the mountain diligently. He was not afraid of wasted firewood. He put the bones into a pot with cold water, a slice of ginger, boiled them, skimmed off the foam, and simmered them on low heat for an afternoon. Now he opened the lid and saw the milky white soup in the pot. He put the chopped radish and a few dates in it.

　　My husband said that eating dates can replenish qi and blood.

　　Li Zhouzhou thought that his husband was afraid of the cold, so he snuggled into his arms as soon as he got on the kang and took off his clothes. He needed some nourishment.

　　Li Zhouzhou brushed lard on the bottom of the pot in the front stove and started to make pancakes.

　　Zhang family kitchen.

　　Tian grabbed a handful of grains and put them into the pot without washing them. She also took out half a radish from the pickle jar and started cutting it. She still had some multi-grain buns steamed yesterday, so she heated them up. This was the dinner for the five members of the Zhang family.

　　Multi-grain porridge is easy to cook, especially the thin soup with only a few grains of grains, which saves time and firewood.

　　The meal was ready, and Tian shouted at the top of her voice: “It’s time to eat, why do you want me to treat everyone one by one?”

　　The three of them came out to the kitchen to get their meals and ate their own meals. Tian looked around but didn’t see Niu Dan, so she asked Daniu, “Where’s your brother?”

　　“I don’t know.” Daniu was so hungry that he gulped down two mouthfuls of soup and then took a big bite of the steamed bun.

　　Tian looked at him and said, “He is a reincarnated ghost who died of starvation,” “The big ones don’t have enough to eat, the small ones are nowhere to be seen, and I am destined to be a hard-working person…” After she finished muttering, she shouted at Niu Dan at the top of her voice.

　　After shouting a few times but getting no response, Tian cursed and thought that the kid might have run far away. Just as she was about to go out to look for him, she heard the chickens clucking in the backyard. When Tian heard the sound, she turned and went to the backyard.

　　He can’t run far and just play outside, the chicken is still precious.

　　When Tian arrived at the backyard, she saw Niu Dan in the chicken coop with the light, holding a chick tightly in his arms.

　　His little chicken!

　　This damn little beast!
